In the last 3 days I've managed to break all 3 of my PV's. I'm so gutted n cross with myself I'm normally safer with stuff, just think my heads not in the game. No vaping for me, so sad Nats x

Oh no. that's the last thing you need Nats It never rains, but it pours. I was panicking last night because I put mine down somewhere and couldn't remember where, so I can imagine how you feel. Can you afford to buy a new one? xx

Well my e-v1 is permanently on even of I don't activate the button. I just brought a RIVA set off someone to replace the one I gave away and neither battery will charge and both have a rattling sound. I dropped my exo which is my fave, and now nothing. My GGTB just won't vape properly, I've took it apart, cleaned it, filled the post. It's so frustrating. I must not smoke, I must not smoke Ahhhh never rains eh? Nats x

What batteries/ atomiser or carto are you using in your GGTB Nats out of interest.
Have you tried stretching out the battery spring a bit?

I am using a 17670 Battery with Kanga bottom coils. I have tried using a standered 510 atomisers and also some BOGE LR cartos all with the same results. It almost like there is no power. I have tried using some c16340 with the adaptor and am having the same results Im sure its something simple I am doing wrong I just can't for the life of me figure it out. Nats X

Sounds like the e-v1 has a jammed button - not familiar with the unit so don't know if a fix is possible (buttons can be tricky) but contact ref50 and ask since they're his design. I'm sure you will get loads of GG advice from others as well. The Rivas definitely sound goosed since they shouldn't rattle.
Hope you get some working kit sharpish. I would send you some kit but I have no spares at the moment.

You say you've cleaned the GGTB, just found a diagram of it and would say get a little emery/sandpaper and give all the connection points a rub. Then make sure each contact is actually behaving as it should. The diagram shows all the parts, just make sure the contacts are shiny metal and assembled the right way. Other than that it should just be making sure the batteries are being contacted correctly. If it still doesn't work with different batteries tried then I don't know what could have gone wrong.

Are your batteries new(ish) Nats?
Is your charger charging your batteries all ok do you think?
Have you tried adjusting the post that makes contact with the atomiser/carto . . . this you can do via the hexagonal screw located under the top cap. . . it could be that this isn't making a proper conact with whatever you're screwing in there.
If nothing works, you're most welcome to send it to me and I'll have a fiddle with it . . . there's really nothing to go wrong on a GGTB, so I'm sure it's something simple and straightforward that will cure your problems.

With 17670 batts I found turning the spring 180 degrees, or upside down got the GGTB working fine, hope this helps

I do hope your problem is sorted soon, being without a vape would be the end of the world for me

If your using 17670s, they are a tight fit in my ggtb, and a tiny bit of the plastic sheath wore through on the top corner, and it was very hard to spot giving me an intermittent short, a tiny brush of nail varnish and sellotape sorted it for me
